smokey robinson. let me just say that was not a hardship..ter] [laughter]what my i remembered what my grandmother used to say, i never thought you're being a librarian would lead to all of this. she was really looking down on that one. and to come to the library of congress and see his scores all of his wonderful songs next to the original manuscript of summertime and it brought him to tears because he said it might work is now here and recognized with george gershwin and then he sang. [laughter] it was a moment. >> i know we can't go into any other details. >> i had to call mr. tony bennett. that's what i found young people to know the library of congress is not so bad. mr. tony bennett, the first person to be given the gershwin award for his interpretation of popular songs. and he was so touched and said anna i first person and the people that are going to be part of this program i cannot tell yet because we are still confirming that everybody is going to be there to pay tribute.e's that will be tel
